Are you using the new TransferRequest?

I get a ASP.Net page "hanging" just like you describe if I define the Session_Start event with no code.

If I remove the even, the entire app works perfectly.

This has been the worst problem switching over to Server 2008.

I wonder if it's related to your issue somehow, even though I'm not using TransferRequest?

Luis,

The articles on IIS.NET are the best source of information on IIS7 so far, but some of them are outdated. Be mindful of the article update date and the tested with build to know how up to date the article is.

Also be mindful of the differences between Vista and Windows Server 2008, which will be there until Vista SP1. Until RTM, the server release is also in flux so at times the product is ahead of the articles.

I also try to cover special topics of interest on my blog, http://mvolo.com. If there are certain topics you'd liket to hear more about, let me know.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Israel.

Yes, you're right...It took me several hours to be able to reproduce the bug. In fact, I had to start removing everything from my app until I stop getting the error. Unfortunately, the global.asax was the last thing I removed :)

Hello Luis,

I believe that my test worked well because I hadn't Global.asax file in my sample application.

Hello Mike.

yeah, that would be great. btw, one question about the iis.net site: can we trust its docs section?

Good writeup, Luis. I'll probably post more info about TransferRequest in the near future, as its not very well documented at all at this point.

The most interesting area is TransferRequest as general replacement for RewritePath, as there are some very interesting scenarios where RewritePath does not give you what you want, even in the Integrated pipeline.

Thanks,

Mike
